Build Up Webinars – Join us!

Every month, Build Up works to offer informative webinars on cutting-edge topics to bring international experts closer to the public. In line with the Topic of the month, we look for current, relevant and innovative topics for users always related to efficient energy in buildings.

Join us and benefit of the interactive tandem of enlightning talks on key issues underpinning the relationship between the EPB standards and building regulations and furthermore have your most burning questions on this topic addressed.

The webinar will give an overview of the standard. Special attention will go to the optimization of the requirements, by tailoring them to selected features of each individual construction project. This will be illustrated with practical examples. The webinar will also give a brief snapshot of the EN ISO 52018-1 standard and its accompanying technical report (part 2).

Past webinars:

This webinar provided an overview of WHY the EPB standards came into being to support the implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, HOW the EPB standards are meant to facilitate the EU-wide transition to a sustainable built environment and WHAT online information resources are available to all building sector stakeholders.

ALDREN’s main objectives are to achieve higher renovation rates and better renovation quality of buildings by overcoming market barriers. The backbone along the whole deep renovation process in the ALDREN project is an improved European Common Voluntary Certification Scheme (EVCS)

This webinar provides guidance and examples for the EPB standards’ flexibility applying the principle of subsidiarity. Flexibility means that national choices are possible in the methodology, input data and references to other standards.

Under H2020 program, the European Commission (EC) is investing in projects that aim to develop IT tools that are attractive for its users and therefore leading to a long-term behavior change for energy savings. Five of such funded projects are: MOBISTYLE, UtilitEE, eTEACHER, FEEdBACk and inBetween.

The BIMcert project will develop a blended, fully supported suite of Building Information Modelling training curriculum and tools, which will allow geographically dispersed construction project teams to use technology to enhance information exchange and collaboration.
